Wages-Other Strikes.

NEW YORK, April 23.-There are signs
that the locked out silversmith's of this
city are weakening. They are affiliated
with District Assembly 40, of the Knights
of Labor, and the chairman of the Arbi-
tration Committee, A. b. George, has adj
vised the men to submit to the bosses
terms until such time as they are in a
position to break their agreement.
This has caused much dissatisfact ton.
and the probability is that the silver
smiths will withdraw from the Knights
of Labor and go to work on the bosses
terms.
PTrTsBURG. April 23.-The demands of
the glass mixers and teasers for a ten per
cent. advance in wages was Endorsed by
District Assembly No. 3, Knights of
Labor, now ia session here. A

WONDERS IN CHICAGO.
BIG THINGS DONE BY THE GREAT
CITY OF THE WEST.
Lifting Herself Out of the Mud, Building
Anew Upon Ashes and Finding a Way
to Pour Her Drainage Into the Gulf
OF Mexico.
Especial correspondence.l

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-This city has now a
commission OF experts at work seeking the
best solution Of an engineering problem quite
unique and interesting. In her: environments
Chicago presents some features altogether I'M
known in any other large city in the world.
One day last autumn l stood with a visitor to
the city upon one of the many bridges span
ming the Chicago river, whose course lies,
with its two diverging branches, directly
through the centre Of the town. My friend
was struck with the slight elevation OF the
street surfaces above the water level.
AWhy," said he, otis but six or seven feet
from the street down to tho water. Is that
true of the general level of the placer,
ut ISL replied. "And. moreover, this
level of the ground is largely artificial. Fifty
years ago the land upon which Chicago has
since risen was no more than three or four
feet above the water. 1t was in some places
q swamp: in others, a low, fiat, wet prairie.
After thousands of buildings were put up
the citizens saw that they were too low down
in the mud, and that something would ave
to be done. So they went to work and raised
their buildings five or six feet, and in some
cases ten feet, all around. Great brick blocks
and hotels were thus raised, no portion of the
business usually carried on within them being
suspended on account Of the raising and no
injury being done the structures. Under one
great building there were placed no less than
500 jackscrews, and for each jackscrew there
was a man. Whenever the foreman fired a
pistol each OF the 500 men gave a twist OH his
screw, and in this way the whole mass, weigh
Ing many thousands Of tons, was lifted
as easily and uniformly as a steam
crane hoists a building stone. Before
many Of the buildings were raised, the streets
In front of them were filed up to the new
grade, causing the first stories to be little bet
ter than Easements; and it was the peculiar
appearance Of these buildings that led ono of
those wise Englishmen. who used to spend a
few days looking at this country for the pur-
pose OF writing a book about it, to send word
back to England that a man would be foolish
to invest any of his money in Chicago real

a bit selfish, as well as great. At any rate,
something must be done. Even now enor-
NOUS engines must be kept constantly at work
pumping water from Chicago river into the
canal to aid the sluggish current in carrying
sewage away from the river. Chicago is
very careful of her water, supply"
"But she is not really fond Of water, is
shea"
"Fond of water' Indeed she is. Why, sir,
no city more so. The impression seems to be
general that Chicago only uses water to bathe
in and to put out fires with, lat that is a mis-
take. Chicago uses a greater quantity Of
water in proportion to her population than
any other city in the world. How rlucha A
very big lot. No less than 100,,)00,0O0 gallons
a day, or 100000 o COO gallons in a year.
You cannot appreciate the significance of
such overgrown figures? Then let me express
their meaning in another way. Chicago's
water consumption is equal to l40 gallons, or
nearly five barrels for each man, woman and
child in the city daily. The water used by
Chicago in a year would make a lake a mile
wide, twenty feet deep and no less than eight
miles long; or it would fill a canal ten feet
deep and twenty feet wide, extending from
Boston to San Francisco. What do you think
of thatl'
My friend smiled at my ealncstness and my
odd way of putting it, and said he should like
to visit the works where such wonderful guam
titles of water were pumped. In that desire
he was indeed but following in the footsteps
OF most visitors to Chicago. They all want
to see the water works, and, having seen
them, feel self. assured that it was good for
them to be there. WALTER WELLMAN.

PROHIBITION RIGHT,

In this country the people are the
government. At least this is the theory,
and the theory commends itself to che
approval OF all loyal citizens. The peo-
pie are the source OF power. The voice
Of the people, expressed in lawful ways,
gives form, and substance. and potency
to the law. The voice Of the majority is
the voice Of the people. When ths.
voice Is stifed or suppressed by party OF
faction or the clamor ct the few, the gov.
eminent is perverted. The assumption
is that intelligence rules-an assump-
tion that can be made good when che
intelligent assert themselves, but one
that fails when ignorance and vice OF
aeusuality are allowed to dominate.
as they often do In the assemblies OF
the people where the policies of the
parties Fare initiated. Eternal vigil.
